Even though the process is straightforward, a few common errors can cause problems:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Selecting wrong tax heads<\/b>: Always ensure you\u2019re filling the correct boxes for tax, interest, penalty, or fees.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Paying after CPIN expiry<\/b>: CPINs are valid only for 15 days. Missing the window means you\u2019ll need to redo the process.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Not saving the CPIN or Challan copy<\/b>: Always download or note the CPIN immediately. If payment issues arise, you\u2019ll need it to track or report.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Wrong payment mode selection<\/b>: Choose the payment method based on how you actually intend to pay. Switching modes after challan generation is not allowed.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nA few extra minutes spent reviewing the details can save a lot of future hassle.<\/span><\/p>\nConclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n
